Fascinating Study on the Use of Acoustic Transmitters in Bull Shark Fish Heads in Fiji Islands (00018055)
(5)
Description: In the picturesque Beqa Lagoon on the Fiji Islands, a groundbreaking study on the migration behavior of bull sharks began in 2004. The renowned biologist Dr. Juerg Brunnschweiler leads the research in the 'Shark Fin Reef' marine reserve, initiated by Mike Neumann. By placing acoustic transmitters deep in the fish heads, the movement patterns of the sharks can be tracked within a radius of up to 800 meters. This innovative method provides unique insights into the behavior of these fascinating marine creatures.
